The incident of Kantling finally came to an end for the time being, and it seemed to be the last wave of this troubled year. With the arrival of the fog and moon, everything in the southern border entered dormant as the temperature dropped. This disaster-prone place finally calmed down.

But Cecil's construction has just begun. With the rapid improvement of various basic machinery and equipment and various factories, a large number of new people who have poured into this land have found that they have a lot of work to do in this cold winter. Of course, they are not only welcomed by winter, but also by hot meals served in the factory canteen, winter clothes specially customized for workers, and charcoal subsidies for every household.

For the poor people who had to stay at home with a little grain stored in winter as long as they had entered winter, counting the grain in baskets to calculate how long it would take for the winter to end, this was a fertile life that they could not imagine. Compared with this, the newly added workload was simply worth mentioning.

According to Gao Wen, the development of the territory was truly on track until the winter construction plan was successfully launched.

Large and sturdy four-wheeled carriages were driving on the gravel road, and squeaking sounds were made under the wheels, and withered leaves spread all over the road. The only branches of fallen maple leaves and giant trees were left. This bleak scene inevitably made the travelers feel depressed, but there was only a warm force in Qiong's heart.

Before the harshest frost came, she and her brother found the last settlement in the forest.

She stood in the leading carriage, stood up and looked at the entire convoy behind her. The seven carriages carried forty-six homeless people with pale and thin faces, and the people driving were powerful soldiers wearing strange enchanted armor and equipped with magic weapons. These Cecil combat soldiers strictly abide by the orders of the lord, and under any circumstances they took it as their duty to protect her and her younger brother and protect the refugees in the convoy. No matter whether they encountered beasts or robbers on the road, these soldiers did not hurt a civilian, and on weekdays, soldiers had never bullied civilians.

This initially surprised her, but now she has become accustomed to it.

This is an incredible force, and what they are heading to is an even more incredible place.

She never believed that any noble would sincerely shelter civilians, and she never thought that homeless people could get free help in strange lands, but what she most unexpectedly was that she would actually be a "messenger" and "representative" to facilitate and realize this process. In the past few dozen days, she and her younger brother had traveled all over the northern part of the Baishui River and the mountains and wilderness south of Kant's leadership. They acted at the same time with several other teams, and found refugee settlements on the verge of extinction under the escort of powerful Cecil soldiers, and then brought the elders and villagers who were struggling on the line of life and death to a safe place. This process was like a dream.

Joan looked at the last carriage, and Tom stood up from the carriage, waving his arms hard at her, and waving the flag in his hand to show a strange posture that represents "everything is normal". He also created a large number of "remote orders" with different meanings, and used the waving flags and lights to convey messages in the team. He was obviously happy and proud.

The words "do things for the lord" seem to greatly encourage his cowardly brother, even if he did not have any substantial position and appointment letters, Tom was more than ten times more energetic than before. Joan once thought that Tom's overly reckless behavior might annoy the soldiers accompanying him, but the result is the "flag words" invented by Tom. The "lantern words" have been reached into the lord's ears. The lord praised him greatly, and even standardized the orders and taught them to the soldiers on the territory...

Joan responded to Tom's signal with a smile, then turned around and continued to look forward.

You can already see the smoke curling cooking fires and the watchtower of the territory.

The refugees on the carriage also noticed the changes ahead, and some people became nervous. Some people got up from the straw and broken cotton wool and looked at the soldiers standing guard on the tower in the distance, while others looked at Qiong uneasy: "Miss Qiong, can we really...may we settle down there?"

A hunter daughter would be called "Miss" respectfully and nervously by the civilians, which made Joan feel quite strange. She quickly shook her head with a smile: "Don't call me that, I'm all civilians like you. Don't worry, the hard days are over, and there is the territory of Duke Cecil in front of us, where we will settle down, and everyone will settle down."

The carriage drove across the crossing bridge, and the huge copper bell was ringing. The sound of "Dangdang" cut through the air. The sentry shouted the cry that had often sounded over the days: "Xin-Ding-Entering!"

The homeless people curled up in straw and cotton wool woke up and lay one by one on the guardrail of the carriage. They saw the tall gates open in front of them. The carriage drove onto a avenue paved with bricks and unique "rocks". The new houses were spread out at the end of the avenue, and the smoke drifted in the sky. The carriage drove to the east at the first intersection, towards a river beach square.

"New-Ding-Entering-Entering!"

Once again, the powerful voices of soldiers exploded in the air, and the wagons' carriages entered the square with this call. Rows of wooden sheds stood on the edge of the square. Recorders who registered the population and soldiers who maintained order had already been in place. A huge stove was built in the center of the square. The fire was burning under the stove, and the aroma of stewed food was floating out of the big pot.

A woman with a big waist and round waist stood beside the stove and stirred the chowder soup stewed in the pot with a long-handled spoon. This nutritious and easy-to-digestible soup is the most suitable food for hungry people. It not only replenishes their physical strength quickly, but also prevents the stomach, which has become fragile due to long-term starvation, from being damaged.

The moment I saw the food, forty-six yellow-faced and thin refugees in the seven carriages seemed to feel at ease.

Qiong could feel this sudden and reassured breath because not long ago, she was also a member of the carriage who suddenly felt reassured.

And the day when the last group of refugees arrived in the territory safely was also the day when Gao Wen's family finally left their tents and moved into the new "castle".

With the help of "an alien cement" that Rebecca has made, coupled with Hetty's magical assistance and Nicholas egg's control of metal building materials, the new mansion has completed construction at a faster speed than Gowen expected. A brand new three-story mansion is located in the open space near the original camp tent. None of the castles of any lord have been completed so quickly. This is naturally due to the building materials developed by Rebecca. However, Gowen believes that the more important reason is that he did not persist in using natural stones to build the castle like those traditional nobles, and he also had to build the castle on the mountain.

It is much easier to build a large villa with bricks and tiles on the flat ground than to build a castle on the top of a mountain with stones.

Gao Wen knew that the architectural requirements of traditional castles were to resist the enemy. Rather than saying that they were some kind of residence, it would be more appropriate to describe them as "military fortresses", but he did not intend to build a new castle like that in Cecil, first of all, for the loss of money, secondly, he could not live in that kind of cold and stiff stone house, and thirdly, because he did not need it.

In an emergency, the ancient facility in the mountains is definitely much stronger and more reliable than any contemporary castle.

This three-story house should be the most luxurious large building in the territory at present, but if it is placed in a contemporary aristocratic mansion, it may only be described as "simple". Gao Wen's personal design allowed it to get rid of the various luxurious but uncomfortable disadvantages of traditional aristocratic mansions. All its structures are arranged with pragmatic and useful goals. When Gao Wen finally moved into the spacious, bright and walled study, he suddenly felt that all the designs he had racked his brains before were worth it.

Although there are no ornate marble windowsills, no shiny crystal sculptures, no dome paintings and exquisite columns in the style of northern countries, he has two magic laboratories and a mechanical workshop, and the beautiful large study in front of him, which has a wall!

Amber was also strolling in the study. The half-elf-like lady seemed to be more satisfied with the house than Gao Wen. She checked the locks on each door, and checked all the cabinets and drawers in the study. Finally, she opened the window towards the "Central Square", looked down at the courtyard below, and exclaimed from the heart: "You can finally climb into the window in the future..."

"Go to the next door," Gao Wen raised his head from the book and glanced at the half-elf, "Remember to go to the door."

"I'm just kidding you for being so serious," Amber came to Gao Wen's desk swayingly, "But then, you guy is really strange. I thought that you lived in the tent for so long, so you wanted to build a gorgeous fortress or palace, but you built such a place?"

"Build a palace on a territory with a total population of only a few thousand?" Gao Wen smiled, "I'm not so extravagant yet."

"I just heard the movements on the riverbank square. It should be that the last group of refugees finally arrived," Amber's ears trembled, "You can always feel at ease this time... What are you looking down at?"

Gao Wen raised his hand and raised Yang the big book with a hard cover and a gold-toned book title that he had been reading since the beginning: "A book that is quite popular in the central and southern regions is said to be aristocratic ladies and ladies."

Amber's expression became strange in an instant: "Miss Madam loves to read books? You actually love to read this... Oh my god?!"

She became exclaimed before she finished speaking, because the title of the book was really eye-catching: "The Story of Heroes and Princesses in the Gowan Cecil Rhymes".

Then the half-elves' expression became even more strange: "You...you like..."

"What kind of hobby? I'm studying my own biography," Gao Wen sighed. "Of course it's really an accident to see this kind of thing..."

Gao Wen sighed even deeper: seven hundred years later, he lifted up and saw his own book, and this achievement was really impossible to replicate.

Amber immediately came over with a slutty look: "Hey, let me see, let me see... You guys still have such stories? Those who write books are really...tsk tsk..."

"People generally believe that arranging a bunch of wind for ancient heroes. Absurd events are a kind of praise and gifting. After all, those people are dead and will not jump out and criticize mistakes or cause trouble for them. Moreover, the heroes who are gifted are mostly happy to do so. When they think so, they definitely didn't expect me to crawl out," Gao Wen curled his lips. "I still admire them a little. I lived for thirty-five years and married a wife in my whole life. They were able to arrange more than eighty confidantes in my thirty-five years of hard work. How did this list of tm stuffed into it?"

"I'm cursing, I'm cursing hey!"

"Hey, you uncle! Go and call Pittman!"

Amber was shocked: "Is this book his? That old and unreasonable..."

"Not his," Gao Wen glanced at Amber, "I want to consult him. What kind of race is the 'Simon' mentioned in this book? This is the only one in several biography that mentioned that I had gone to sea, but in that experience, it mentioned a species that I didn't know at all!"
